Arizona property — rent-for-work lease with GC tenant, need attorney referral

Lucas Vreeken
Posted

I'm active duty military, recently stationed in New Mexico, and I own a single-family rental in Tucson. While I was overseas during COVID, my property manager stopped doing their job — squatters moved in, the house was trashed, and I need it rehabbed.

A general contractor found the squatters, helped clear them out, and offered to live in the house doing repairs in exchange for rent credit, then pay market rent once it's livable. He's already moved in, so the arrangement is live but not yet in writing.

I'm looking for an Arizona landlord-tenant attorney who does flat-fee reviews of customized leases — specifically one comfortable with a rent-for-work structure under ARLTA. Not asking for free legal advice, just referrals and rough cost expectations.

Happy to share more details privately. Thanks.
